To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" This answer served, of course, only to exasperate the king still further. "What he says is altogether an offence to me, " he broke out, "and I renounce whosoever may take his side. " He then appealed to the barons to follow the good example set them by the bishops, by making a formal renunciation of " faith and friendship " to the disgraced primate. This move was miscalculated. The haughty barons of England were by no means inclined to proceed to extremities against the man whom they had rais...ed to the rank of first grandee of the realm, at the bidding of a monarch of whose power they had too good reason to be jealous. Moreover, they had their answer ready. " We were never his vassals, " they said. " We cannot abjure a fealty which we have never sworn. He is our archbishop ; his it is to govern the Church in this country, and by consequence we, as Christians, cannot withdraw ourselves from his authority, more particu- larly as there is not a single blot upon his life which could incline us to act otherwise.
